"No one reading this report will be
surprised to hear George Soros’ Open Society Foundations is neck deep in
this regime change. The man who essentially got Obama elected in the
first place, he and his NGO have been implicated in many political
machinations. This
Arizona Daily Independent opinion piece by casts a blistering light on
John McCain, the aforementioned Levin, and a neocon system of levers
most are aware of, but know not how to confront. I’ve not the space to
go into McCain’s shady past here, but his face on crisis has been
adequately established. It was the Soros connection to the defense
spending champion that caught my eye.

George Soros’ gift of $100 million dollars to Human Rights Watch did not make big news back in 2010. Human Rights Watch was thrilled
though. A few months later, Human Rights Watch reported on the
International Criminal Court (ICC) charging both Muammar Gaddafi, and
his son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi with crimes against humanity. Human Rights
Watch’s position in this strategy was to validate and provide
presidents for a tribunal, at least in my view. This quote from the
report by HRW is telling:

“Should the court issue an arrest
warrant for Gaddafi, it would not be the first warrant for a sitting
head of state by an international court. In 1999, the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia issued its first indictment
against Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic for war crimes and crimes
against humanity committed in Kosovo.”

Almost immediately after ICC head
prosecutor Moreno Ocampo issued an arrest warrant for the Gaddafis on 7
June 2011, 30 nations recognized the Libyan rebels of the NTC as the
legitimate government of the country. A key in understanding how
collusion and influence parlay uprisings is in understanding how the
Open Society Foundations grants and meetups operate. Central to the
legitimacy of Gadaffi’s overthrow, was the notion he was a tyrant and a
killer. Legitimacy for the White House agenda comes in many forms."

"Upholding Abuse in Venezuela" HRW is upset that the ultra-right in Venezuela has been unable to absolve itself of various acts of sedition.

"Israel agrees to replace ‘pro-settlement’ Brazil ambassador" The US got Brazil's very sloppy seconds. Then a color revolution broke out!

A comment by DJG in the Naked Capitalism comments on the tragic Brazilian coup, a return to the generals staged by people known to be massively corrupt ostensibly based on the corruption of a woman who is known, with certainty, not to be corrupt:

"Why torture is corrupting. From the Guardian article about the impeachment vote in the chamber of deputies in Brazil:

“On a dark night, arguably the lowest point was when Jair Bolsonaro,
the far-right deputy from Rio de Janeiro, dedicated his yes vote to
Carlos Brilhante Ustra, the colonel who headed the Doi-Codi torture unit
during the dictatorship era. Rousseff, a former guerrilla, was among
those tortured. Bolsonaro’s move prompted left-wing deputy Jean Wyllys
to spit towards him.
“Eduardo Bolsonaro, his son and also a deputy, used his time at the
microphone to honour the general responsible for the military coup in
1964.”
And as the U.S. seeks to avoid responsibility for torture at the
black sites, Bagram, Guantanamo, and elsewhere, the same corruption
undermines the government and enables the most immoral politicians."

"The voter participation rate is key to this election, more important than the individual candidates who were elected. Here’s why: you need to understand elections in a constitutionally-created state, in which one party dominates, in terms of a strike vote in a trade union. It demonstrates continuing confidence in the leadership at a turning point in the struggle. A union would not be satisfied with a strike vote of 58%, going into a strike. And probably the Syrian government would have wished for a higher rate going into the negotiations at Geneva. But it knew from the start that holding the elections under the conditions of war and occupation was a gamble, because there are a lot of eligible voters living outside of Syria right now, living in places besieged by the terrorists, and who have died but not yet been accounted for. Taking into account these factors, the participation rate would probably have been much higher.
Among our solidarity delegation, we have been pleased that the Syrian authorities did not try to inflate the figures to make the election results appear better than they actually were: it reinforces our contention that the Syrian government is a credible force in the serious negotiations ahead."

"Petras shows how the US government is to some degree a private tool for
advancing Jewish interests. He points, for example, to the position of
Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence within the US
Treasury Department, filled by Stuart Levey. Showing his sense of
caustic humor, he notes who followed Levey: “Levey’s successor, David
Cohen (who else!) followed the same policy.” The result was that
“Multi-national banks and corporations, which had corrupted officials,
swindled investors, evaded taxes and laundered illicit funds were never
investigated, let alone charged. Cohen devoted his time and effort, at
Israel’s behest, enforcing sanctions against Iran and endeavoring to
sabotage any US.-Iran nuclear negotiations.”"

"The Killer Hiding in the CDC Map" This is great for a number of reasons.
